Tom Stanley: When The Doorbell Rings Should I Open The Door?, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Life is full of choices. From a young age, we begin making decisions, some of which are beneficial while others may not be. Various factors influence the choices we make, and before our teenage years, these decisions generally don't have lasting effects on our lives. However, as we enter our teenage years and grow older, the choices we make can have a significant impact on our futures. The environment we live in and the company we keep play crucial roles in shaping our decisions. This influence can be positive or negative, and without a strong foundation of caution and discernment, it is easy to be led astray. To illustrate this point, consider a simple example: if you are spending time with friends and someone offers you a cigarette, choosing to smoke it could lead to a long-term addiction. This situation could escalate if you swap the cigarette for cannabis, an ecstasy tablet, or alcohol, potentially resulting in much more serious consequences, some of which can be life-threatening. This book highlights the pitfalls and dangers that await unwary teenagers and young adults. However, rather than portraying life as dull and dreary, the author encourages us to resist the temptation to embrace a path that may lead to despair and hopelessness. Instead, he shows us that there is a much better way to live if we choose to follow it-a way that leads to fulfilment, peace, and satisfaction.
